Background: "I see it differently – The Festival of Differing Opinions”
The Festival of Differing Opinions took place for the first time in 2019 and was an attempt to break down the walls within the city - through listening and understanding. In 2020, it was one of the micro-projects funded as part of the city of Chemnitz' application for the title of European Capital of Culture. The dialogue format is a cooperation between the C³ Chemnitzer Veranstaltungszentren GmbH, the city of Chemnitz, and the Chair of General Psychology and Biopsychology at Chemnitz University of Technology.
